Abstract: One of the fundamental issues that will be examined in the results of this research is that to see and understand the problem of terrorism, it must be traced from its causes, the context of its occurrence and the meaning contained in it. According to Walter Reich, the complexity of the problem and the variety of interpretations of terrorism make it difficult for ordinary people to understand what terrorism is. Apparently, it also happened in the case of terrorism in Indonesia. Usually, ordinary people will see an action based on the results it causes without asking why someone has the heart to do such a cruel thing. This phenomenon intrigues the researchers regarding the issue of terrorism should not simply be examined by how to punish the perpetrator but instead asks the underlying reason of why the perpetrator did the act. From the results of the study, it was revealed that the acts of terror committed by the terrorists were motivated by acts of revenge against the “Real Terrorists,†the United States and its allies. For example, what was done by the US against Iraq, and what was done by Israel against Palestine. These terrorism cases are influenced by the religious teachings and ideology of the perpetrators. This research was a descriptive study, while the data collection was carried out for a long time, not only by tracing library materials but also by understanding the terrorism cases that occurred in Indonesia, as well as by conducting in-depth interviews and reading books by terrorists, such as Abu Bakar Baasyir and Imam Samudra. The conclusion is that the acts of terror carried out by terrorists in Indonesia are an “Effort of Resistance†against the real terrorists, the United States, and its allies.
